The OP didn't really specify what kind of contest this was going to be, just that it was a "World Team Trophy" type of competition. The actual WTT uses IJS scoring, so one way to interpret the question is, "Who would be on your team if you wanted to get the maximum CoP points?"

Was wondering why it feels so hard to favor CoP skaters over skaters from the 6.0 era?

For me it's not hard. In most cases I grew up with the skaters being at the top of their game, and continuing to be as pros... it has very little to do with a scoring system, and all to do with not letting go of the past. Just like most "newer" fans choose skaters that were their first favorites.

I think you are right about many fans choosing skaters they grew up with or that first got them interested in skating.

If I pick a CoP era team with the skaters I like the most it would be:

in ladies for great britain, i would add cecila collidge 1st choice, megan taylor

the skaters for me are who stand out more even in the current crop, russian young ladies are still young and still to be determined as well as the men.
for me i personally see if they can stand up to the past and for me most of them don't, there are exception, but with u.s there was (is) a great past in ladies and mens to live up to , so it is hard other countries i didn't follow as closely as i do now.
